Last Friday we celebrated two birthdays at J. Alexander's Restaurant: our friend Bill's and mine. There were five of us: Bill, Catherine, Les (who happened to be in town), Kjell, and me.
The company and conversation were wonderful as was the food! I look at these pictures and can still imagine the wonderful taste. Kjell and I had our favorites, steak and a fully loaded potato.
Such fun! And, it is a pleasure to still be having birthdays. It sure beats the alternative!
All the best,
Lois
It's that time of the year that we enjoy our fireplace. We seem to have enough firewood each year from trees that come down in our yard and wood that our friend Bill brings to us.
My only problem these days is carrying it inside because of my bad back. Fortunately, I have a lovely family who will bring me buckets of wood so that I can keep the living room toasty warm.
Happy December!
All the best,
Lois
We are SO proud of our baby Lily and her trainer, our daughter Catherine! Lily has just achieved her first Qualifying Agility Run at our AKC Queen City Dog Training Club.
Lily is now on her way to achieving Agility titles. We are sure her great, great, great Aunt Penny is looking down from doggie heaven and proudly wagging her tail!
Here's the video of the run:
All the very best,

Yesterday morning I woke up to this on the dining room table. My Honey knows EXACTLY how to wow me on my birthday.
Thanks also go to Kjell's secret shopper, Catherine.
The day yesterday was wonderful. Relaxing all day, then a lovely dinner out with family and friends. The best part is I didn't have to do the dishes. More images to come.
All the best,
Lois
Awhile back I showed you the back of a sweater I had started for our daughter Catherine.
Well, the front and the back are finished, so it's time to design and make the sleeves.
I'm writing this new pattern as I go so it takes longer than my designs I've made many times over and over.
So far, so good!
Stay tuned!

I have set up a wrapping station in my second floor hallway. The two gifts in the image are birthday presents that I wrapped yesterday and will be giving in a couple of days, but I'll soon be wrapping Christmas gifts. I like doing this with the light coming through the large hallway window.
So, here we go for another season of gift wrapping and giving.
Happy December!
Lois
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas here!
I took this image yesterday morning through a window and screen from my bedroom window.
Appointments were cancelled for the day giving us a little extra time to do other things.
Enjoy!
Lois
